To The Editor: Regarding "They tolerate all but dissent," Jan. 9. Equating liberals with totalitarianism establishes that you don't understand what either of them really is. Protesting the bias and leverage of corporate media in no way impinges on your right to dissent.

The only threat to right-wing talk radio is its own dropping ratings. And anyone with two brain cells already knows Fox isn't legitimate.

You've probably forgotten the time Bush tried to install a political officer in PBS.

It is Republicans who have a history of trying to lock out opposition in Congressional meetings. I find it hard to believe that today's bi-partisan-at-any-price Democrats would even think about doing that.

It has been a year since Obama won, and some are still hyperventilating. I guess they're afraid we'll do to them what they did or tried to do to us when they were in power.
